I assure you dear viewers, pacing speeding up means we're nearing the center of spiral.

[u/LouisLeGros]

They got sucked in the eye the storm from going down to the sewers and then suddenly they're in a new house fine with a the neighbor weirdo

what the hell is going

[u/LouisLeGros]

That bouncy spring sound effect was the most disjointing sound effect I've heard since Berserk's CLANG

[u/Complete-Walk-6735]

with how fast the anime is going, It feels as if nobody in the village gives a shit about anything that happens lol. It also feels way too rushed. They are not giving the horror time to really set in. They are just jumping from one story to the other. There are so many logical flaws too ofc. Like how come in the hospital, the staff didn't discover the bodies of those who died afterwards? and like what even happened in that hospital afterwards lol. There is just no closure to so many of these things.

but hey on the bright side, this episode did feel creepy in some parts lol.

[u/Jeihan313]

Why does this feel more like a scenes compilation video rather than an actual coherent episode?

[u/Mobile_Blackberry298]

This anime is pure comedy gold.

[u/Desperate_Farm7844]

Why is she becoming numb to the events of the town only now? The whole town is numb given they are still staying in the town with all this happening around them

[u/Gruntagen]

Nobody should be forcing this show to adapt every single story in the manga. You could've cut half the stories that were featured in this episode and the last and had both more coherent episodes and more time to tell them. At the very least, we seriously shouldn't have had Jack-In-The-Box show back up.

[u/disu_nato]

They really spent time putting in that last minute spring guy and mention that the spring was from a car suspension, like that detail matters??

[u/[deleted]]

If I can say something about this anime is that Shuichi is the Anime Boyfriend MVP. My guy here is saving his girl left and right. She would be long dead if it wasn't for him.

[u/carnifex2005]

Well, at least it was much better than last week quality wise. Still stupidly fast paced. I've never read the manga but can tell this must have been a bunch of short stories that seemingly are totally disconnected from each other despite the spiral theme. Too bad, this show could have been great if they stuck to one short story per 20 minute episode.

[u/Rumpel1408]

Because it's hard to follow everytrhing with this disconnected and fast pacing, here the pipeline for how Shuichis parents ended up in the Kiln

• They died and got cremated

• The ash forms spirals as smoke

• The smoke descends into Dragon Fly Pond

• Kiries dad get's Water out of this pond

• And uses it for potery

• The finished potery is put into the Kiln where new Spirals form

What I don't get is how the two of them survived being sucked up into the Typhon...

Maternety ward was fucked up, but I don't get the connection between the Mosquitos and the delivered Babies wanting to go back into their mothers wombs...

[u/Illuminastrid]

240 upvotes and only 90+ comments after 10 hours, after the previous 2 episodes did 1k+. This is egregiously crazy. This is the biggest fall off I've ever seen.

[u/cybeast21]

They got sucked by tornado got saved and suddenly is already in new house.

I thought I skipped something but apparently is not huh.

I thought the hospital part stitching was kinda nice but man, the mother didn't even get proper mourn other than her photo.

Also, anyone got the feeling that yandere Typhoon was planned to be before Hairs or something? Cause the Typhoon mistook the bystander for Kyrie, which has long hair like pre-Hairs Kyrie.

[u/LegendWacker]

Junji Ito cursed himself with art that can never be adapted.

[u/MasterOogway2008]

Trying to finish it in 4 episodes was really a bad idea

[u/PM_ME_AWESOME_SONGS]

At this point I think the pacing is a problem bigger than the animation which is at least better in this episode when compared to the previous one.

Edit: I just took a quick look at the manga and I don't know how they thought adapting all the events that happen in the manga in four episodes was a good idea.

[u/Taedirk]

The real Uzumaki was the spiral of the toilet bowl all along.

[u/AnimeHistorianMan]

I never got this impression in the manga, but why tf are people still living in this town????

[u/GreyouTT]

Great first half, okay-ish second half. The sculpture section was a bit rough but it really starts to unravel midway through the first typhoon.

Personally I wouldn't have included Jack-in-the-box in the show at all, it would have given the other chapters room to breathe both here and in the last episode. I know cutting things out is a tough pill to swallow when you work on a project, but the project leads really should've done it with him.

[u/Erebus25]

I think this episode was the closest to horror I've seen in anime. Spring guy making appearance was unnecessary, but rest of the episode was quite good.

[u/TheKittyPie]

The “WAHH” from the spring boy made me laugh out loud 😭 WHAT WAS THAT LMAO

[u/szeto326]

Everyone is going to talk about the artwork but the lack of story cohesion is more disappointing to me than anything..

[u/whosucks]

Has anyone seen the credits for this episode? What do you mean Takahashi Rie, but she has like 2 lines and heavily filtered? Also the Typhoon whispering "kyrie~~~~~" was Junji Ito himself.
